Loving this HQCOLCB #4.5 Reminder Projects on 15 April 2024

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!

purpose: this posting showcases my owner/DT commitment for Heart's Quest Celebrations of Love challenges blog that began its love story on January 2 and is now in the middle of its 4th competition.

when: #4.5 reminder notice is being published on April 15, 2024; #4 competition time period is April 2-April 30, 2024.

what: Project #1= wedding package topper (first 2 photos are showing it scanned flat) for the monthly EWA theme*

angled view with the ribbon tucked up closer to the card/tag:

This wedding package topper is designed for a rectangle shaped box. The orange floral print paper was folded in half and the ribbon secured inside across the top and bottom then adhered closed. That way the ribbon is sandwiched and doesn't slide which should make it easier to tie around the box. 

notes:

1. orange floral paper = Stampin' Up

2. white rose with hearts in background cut-a-part card = ? not use; old stash, maybe Webster's Pages

3. green marker for outlining; orange marker to color the little flowers on the frame stamp

4. frame stamp = Studio G

5. congrats stamp = ?; received from a crafting friend in a plastic zip bag that was unmarked; stamps are a variety 

6. black ink pad = Hero Arts

and

Project #2 for the April 2024 optional event theme of birthday/new baby birth

and closeup to see the inking, glitter paint on the zinnia, ink on the bunny tail:

notes: *EWA is my coined acronym for engagements, weddings, and anniversaries

A. mint/sage green cardstock base = Neenah

B. lavender paper = Art. Skills

C. floral and dotted light cardstock prints = Summer Lovin' by Simple Stories 

D. Sugarplum ink pad used on the sentiment cloud shape = Lawn Fawn

E. Fresh Fig ink pad used on the other paper and cardstock edges = Stampin' Up

F. zinnia layered flower, purple plastic gem, lavender buffalo print wood rabbit (from a garland set) = Crafter's Square

G. iridescent glitter acrylic paint =  Crafter's Closet
